LILLY NAIL AND BEAUTY LIVERPOOL ★9.5

A nail house with fifteen years behind it

Lilly Nail and Beauty is not a one-room start-up: the brand has been running for over fifteen years and now works from three salons across the North West, with the Liverpool site a short walk from Lime Street station. Nails and lashes are the core, but the menu has widened into brows, waxing and facials.

Services

The list is built around the things people rebook every three or four weeks.

• gel nails and extensions, with nail art on request;
• eyelash extensions and LVL lash lift with tint;
• ombre brows, brow shaping, tinting and lamination;
• Hollywood and Brazilian waxing;
• spa pedicure with a complimentary shellac finish, plus facials and massage.

Technology and brands

Rather than resell a shelf of third-party lines, Lilly develops its own products for lashes, gel nails and skincare, with a stated bias towards gentler formulations — the same stock is sold over the counter for home upkeep. Lash lifting uses the LVL method, brows are tinted and laminated rather than tattooed, and files, tips and wax applicators are handled as single-use.

Team and stylists

Because the business runs three salons, technicians are trained to a shared house standard instead of each chair doing its own thing — a client moving between the branches should get the same shape and the same finish. Nail and lash work are treated as separate specialisms here, so brow and lash appointments are not simply squeezed in by whoever is free.

The Space

The salon presents itself as a luxury room rather than a walk-in nail bar: a proper reception, dedicated manicure desks, and a reclining area for pedicures and lash work kept away from the noise of the front. Each station is wiped down and reset between clients.

Who it’s for

It suits commuters arriving by train who want an appointment close to the station, and regulars on a fixed nail or lash cycle who value a consistent result over novelty. The combined menu also works for anyone preparing for an event who needs nails, brows, lashes and waxing without booking four venues.

Questions and answers

Can I book online? Yes, through the salon’s website; walk-ins are sometimes possible but appointments are safer at weekends.

How long should I allow? Gel nails and an LVL lift are roughly an hour; a full set of lash extensions or a spa pedicure runs longer.

Do you treat men and children? Men are welcome for waxing, brows and pedicures; children are taken for simple nail work with an adult present.

Can I combine treatments in one visit? Yes — nails plus brows or lashes is the most requested pairing.

Do you sell gift vouchers? Yes, and they can be put towards treatments or the salon’s own products.
